PS: On the last day of the month, ask for ticket support!

..................................................................

For the current United States, the situation is very urgent, and Hull doesn't care about those diplomatic etiquette, so he directly said straight to the point: "Mr. President, we hope that China can stand up, uphold international justice, and stop Japan's aggression against South Africa!"

Now the United States is in a terrible situation, and in the air battle of Britain, which is like bloodletting, the United States has lost a lot more than the original plane.

Because Germany has received great assistance from a certain self-engaged five mark party, it has superiority in radar and pilot technology over Britain and the United States, and it has also obtained the auxiliary fuel tank technology transferred by China, and the range and time in the air have been extended considerably. For a time, the air battle over Britain was fierce and bloody, and the two sides were roughly evenly matched, but slightly inclined to Britain and the United States, after all, Britain had home advantage. But the German pilots had a better technical and tactical advantage, and this leveled off.

Most of the pilots in the United States are new recruits, and they are not at the same level at all compared to those old birds in Germany, even if there is no difference in the performance of the aircraft on both sides, but the ratio of air combat losses is as high as five to one, even if it is a home battle, many parachuted pilots can return, and the ratio of pilot losses has reached about three to one.

During this period of time, the United States suffered extremely serious losses due to the air battle in Britain, and it was not afraid of dropping planes, and the productivity of the United States did not care about the loss of planes at all, but the loss of personnel made the United States feel pain. Pilots are not such creatures that are easy to cultivate. The situation in Britain made the United States and Britain uncertain about controlling the Atlantic.

The battlefields in North Africa and Central Africa are also not optimistic, although they withstood the Soviet-German offensive and relied on the advantage of national strength to gain a slight upper hand, but they were not sloppy at all. Both Germany and the USSR were the top powers, and neither the big nor the small beard was a fuel-efficient lamp.

So Ghana insisted that the first concern of the United States was to ensure the defeat of Hitler and Stalin, and that the bearded friends should fly first. Therefore, it is necessary to exercise restraint in dealing with Japan for the time being, because the United States is not ready for war against Japan, and if possible, in any case to avoid war with Japan until it is free.

Although Comrade Cactus is very confident in the national strength of the United States, his current opponent is not weak. Germany and the Soviet Union are all big hooligans, and going to war with two big hooligans at the same time has already made the United States feel a little difficult, and if it is pinched up with Japan because of the South African issue, it will be a confrontation with three big hooligans at the same time.

Such a bunker thing, even the red-necked comrade "Cactus" Ghana felt too reluctant. Because he is only red-necked, not Lafayette, and he is not so arrogant.

True, the United States is really strong, so to speak, on this planet, with the exception of China, they are not afraid of anyone. Even if it is an opponent of the level of De Suri, if it is single-handed, they can easily crush it with their terrifying comprehensive national strength, even if it is a one-on-two problem, it is not a big problem. But if these three opponents go together, then there will be a qualitative change.

Moreover, Ghana also has to take into account the wishes of the domestic population, which can be understood by the Soviet-German fighting population, because there is a sufficient excuse that Germany "shot down" their civilian planes, and the Soviet Union bombed their troops first, or is it an ally of Germany. It's normal to fight.

But Japan has nothing to do with these two, and they are fighting South Africa, not the United States. Now it is enough to carry the Soviet Union and Germany, and if it provokes Japan again, isn't that a psychopathy? If Ghana causes a direct conflict with Japan, it will arouse great dissatisfaction among the people and jeopardize its own political future.

Therefore, Secretary of State Hull took a tough stance and refused to take further steps to stop Japan's persecution of South Africa. It is a reflection of Ghana's thinking. Even if Japan has already declared war on South Africa, the United States will exercise restraint. Ghana is a politician, not a secondary two.

On the other hand, the United States has always regarded Japan as Africa's great enemy. If Japan were to take control of South Africa, it would seriously threaten American interests. The United States is well aware of Japan's ambitions, and if Japan controls South Africa, then the United States will not be able to take advantage of it at all, so they cannot accept Japan's occupation of South Africa.

But now the United States really does not have many countermeasures against Japan, if it is in the history of the original time and space, the United States has weakened Japan through the means of trade embargoes.

Japan was desperately short of industrial raw materials, especially strategic materials such as iron ore and oil. U.S. scrap steel has always been an important raw material for the Japanese steel industry, accounting for a large proportion of the Japanese industry. And then there's oil.

But this is not the case with this plane, and there is no shortage of iron ore in Japan at all, and there are more than 1.5 billion tons of iron ore reserves in the western Japanese state of Moshan (Mozambique). And Iwase Prefecture (Zimbabwe) is even more exaggerated, with iron ore reserves of more than 30 billion tons. Last year (1941) China's crude steel output reached a terrifying 1.1 billion tons! That's right, 1.1 billion tons!

It has far exceeded the peak output of 700 million tons of steel production in the Datu Dynasty, but it is not surprising to think about it, because China's existing territory is more than 38 million square kilometers, which is four times that of the Datu Dynasty! The place that needs to be built is at least four times that of the Datu Dynasty, so it is not surprising that there is such a steel output. What's more, it also has to supply a bunch of little brother's consumption. Like the little brothers in South America and the Middle East, many of them lack a steel industry, so their daily needs are imported from China. It's also a great market.

Therefore, in the area of steel, it is not stuck in Japan's neck. A small leak of China's annual scrap steel is enough for Japan to consume.

The same is true for oil, although there is no shortage of oil resources in western Japan, there is no way to do it, there is no oil in the whole of southern Africa, and most of Africa's oil fields are north of the equator. However, there is no shortage of oil in other countries of the People's Revolutionary Union, and among the world's major oil exporting countries, there are several on the side of the People's Revolutionary Union. Iran, Arabia, Maiin, and Kurds are all oil hegemons, Afghanistan and Erathia are also oil exporters, and Japan has not imported a drop of oil from the United States for so many years.

Although Japan is the third largest trading country of the United States, this approach affects Japan's economy more than its war capability.

Well, I believe you can also see that the only thing in the world that can stop Japan is China, the suzerain.

So Hull came, and he came to complain to Wende, along with British Foreign Secretary Sir Eden, US Ambassador to China Jensen, British Ambassador to China Sir Shek Mu, and of course South African Ambassador to China Tamson Tamsen.

Aiden also said: "Your Excellency, you once said that China is a responsible big country and a peace-loving country. At present, Japan's aggression against South Africa is a serious damage to peace in Africa, and we all hope that China will work for peace in Africa and come out to stop Japan's unjust actions. ”

"China and Japan are allies with special relations, and if China is willing to come out and uphold justice and stop it, I believe Japan will accept it. Hull immediately added.

Although Hel and Aiden said it tactfully, the implication was very clear, that is: Hey, your dog is crazy, running out and biting people, hurry up and pull your house back!

Yes, he deserves to be a professional diplomat!" Wen Deji smiled and gave Aiden a thumbs up in his heart.

"Of course, China loves peace, and we have always opposed war, and we have always advocated resolving disputes through dialogue. Wen Deji smiled kindly.

"Long before Japan declared war, we openly said that we hoped that both sides would exercise restraint and replace war with negotiations. But, as you have seen, our persuasion did not work. Just like the war in Europe, we appealed at the time, but it didn't work either. Therefore, we can only express regret for Japan's actions...... "Moon said very sincerely. "Of course, we will continue to mediate, but I can't guarantee whether Japan will accept it. ”

"Your Excellency President, Japan is an ally of China!" said Tamsen, South Africa's ambassador to China, gritting his teeth, especially accentuating the word "ally." Nima, who doesn't know that Japan is your dog, and now what are you pretending to be innocent?

Wen Desi spread his hands and said, "Gentlemen, you seem to have misunderstood something. It is true that we are allies with Japan, but Japan is an independent country, and we cannot directly order them to do anything or not to do anything. Moreover, the UHR is only a defensive organization, and it cannot initiate the joint command regulations unless it is applied for by a member state, so in this case, our joint command of the UHR cannot command the Japanese army. I also regret the war in South Africa, but the system is the system, unless the relevant articles are amended at the next meeting of the People's Revolutionary Union, there is nothing I can do, I am very sorry!"

Mr. Wen's implication is: I'm sorry, my dog leash is loose. I can't help it if the dog goes crazy, if it bites someone, think you're unlucky, we have a way! I'm sorry!

Moon knew very well that if he really stood up to stop it, he would be able to suppress Japan's actions and "maintain peace in Africa." However, "maintaining peace in Africa" is safeguarding the current vested interests, and it is not beneficial to China in any way. Naturally, he was not sensitive, and he wished that Japan would bite the United States hard. Didn't Japan grow so strong for this day?

Now Wen Desi's attitude is clear at a glance, that is, he will not care. The foreign ministers of Britain and the United States looked at each other, and they both scolded in their hearts.

Hull secretly hated in his heart, so he said: "So, if other countries stand up for justice, will China side with Japan?"

"As I have just said, the UHRC is a defensive organization, and we will only guarantee the territorial integrity of the member states, and if they are attacked outside the country, the terms of the alliance do not apply. Wen Deji said with a smile. Yes, it is not a secret that this is the case in the terms of the military alliance of the People's Revolutionary Union.

"Well, I see......" the Anglo-American representative left in a gloomy manner.
